I heard William say that the purpose of the two small robots going to Mars was to take care of those potatoes, which made most Facebook members feel happy.
The recognition of his credibility suddenly increased infinitely.
Although one dollar is not a big deal for those who can afford to buy a computer these days, no one wants to be deceived.
Even though William has been trapped on Mars for more than two months and has experienced several crises during this period, now that rescue has arrived, everyone can understand his eagerness to return home.
But if the game of guessing the weight of potatoes cannot be completed, most people will still feel unhappy. Fortunately, everything is no longer a problem now.
"Do you know how much money I lost by keeping my promise and completing the game with you?"
William rubbed his cheeks in frustration and said helplessly, "Not only does this spaceship have to stay on Mars, the original plan to bring one hundred tons of gold back to London has also been reduced to fifty tons.
According to the current gold price, a loss of fifty tons of gold means a loss of one billion US dollars. In addition, this spacecraft will have to stay here for more than forty days.
If the spacecraft follows me back to London and is replaced with new energy, it can also complete the round trip from London to Mars and back to London in four days.
After forty days, even if I fly only every ten days, it means I have lost another 200 tons of gold and four billion US dollars. So, do you think I have suffered a big loss?"
This is not only a huge loss, but also a loss to grandma’s family.
The audience was shocked when William opened his mouth. He had lost hundreds of tons of gold and billions of dollars. They were still shocked by this astronomical figure.
But he saw William's expression suddenly change, and he laughed as if he thought of something.
"Hey, it suddenly occurred to me that I might not be the only unlucky person."
What does this mean? Apart from you, who else can suffer the consequences?
But soon some people from England posted on Facebook, saying that England is definitely more unlucky than William.
Because at this moment, England needs this gold more than William.
"Haha, haha, it seems someone has already guessed it."
William raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile, "According to the current tax rate, if I use the name of my company to transport gold back, I have to pay 26% of the gold, or the equivalent in pounds.
And if you use your own name, you have to pay roughly 40%. Although some consumption, charity and the like can be deducted, the final cash back will definitely be pounds, not gold.
Therefore, if I plan to use gold to pay taxes, it should not be difficult for you to calculate how much less gold the English official will collect if this spaceship does not return to England."
Now everyone in England couldn't laugh anymore, but people in other countries all over the world started laughing.
And when William said it so directly, of course he didn't just say it as a joke.
Although paying taxes makes people uncomfortable, the fact that he will transport gold back to London has been disclosed to the world.
Everyone knows that if William dares to pay even one penny less on the tax on these golds, the reputation of the Devonshire family will be completely ruined.
However, he cannot change the matter of paying taxes. How much he pays and how many times a month he pays are entirely up to William.
Dissatisfied with the English government, all the gold shipped back every month was placed on the moon.
When only William can carry out space cargo in the world, there is actually no difference between putting gold on the moon, Mars, and Devonshire Castle.
Because the gold is there, it won't become less or disappear just because it doesn't come back this year.
But for Downing Street, given the current economic situation, losing hundreds or even two hundred tons of gold every month is definitely an unbearable loss.
Maybe as soon as the news came out that gold was staying on the moon, the streets of London were filled with crowds of citizens who came out to block the streets.
With this article, William's future in England will not only be a mere threat of force, but also have economic influence.
"Okay, guys, that's all I can say about this," William spread his hands, "I'm from London, and it won't be a good thing for me to talk about it any more."
"If the potato is properly arranged, then I will have nothing to worry about on Mars. On the contrary, returning to Blue Star is the top priority for me, so if nothing unexpected happens."
Looking at his watch, William said, "In two hours, I will set off back to London."
When it was time to leave, William, who had been acting for two months, suddenly became pretentious and felt a little reluctant to leave.
Fortunately, the most important goal of this trip, the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, also known as the Space Stone, was obtained as expected.
Moreover, in the process of coming into contact with the space gem, not only was there no twists and turns, it was as if he was the destination of the space gem, and he tamed the gem as soon as he put it into the storage space.
The use of space magic has become more convenient, the magic level has been upgraded by one level, and the strength has increased by more than ten times. Before, there was only one cubic meter of storage space, but now it is so big that William doesn't know how to fill it.
He said hello to the audience, turned off the live broadcast, and walked into the spacecraft he was driving to Mars.
Passing through the disinfection room, entering the cargo warehouse, and looking at the two small robots following behind.
Pointing to the forty pots of potato seedlings, "Your future tasks are to take care of these potatoes and maintain the spacecraft and the live broadcast equipment to Blue Star.
Only when the safety of the spacecraft is ensured can the five engineering robots be helped to build this temporary settlement.
If something unexpected happens, you can drive the spacecraft out of this cave, find a safe place on Mars, and wait for rescue, do you understand?"
"Understood, Mr Devonshire".
After saying that, the two small robots began to take care of the forty pots of potatoes.
The movements are smooth and don't feel like a novice at all. It seems that the planting procedure developed on Sunday by combining Blue Star's grain cultivation technology was not in vain.
"Sir, congratulations. The yield of this batch of potatoes may be beyond everyone's expectations. The winning rate of your bet with Facebook friends has greatly increased."
"Hey, Sunday, it would be pointless if you say it now."
William laughed and looked at the small robot that could even scan the moisture content in the flower pot, and thought to himself,
Sometimes cheating is just that simple.
The bumper harvest of the first batch of potatoes allowed netizens to make a simple and direct comparison of the yield of the second batch of potatoes.
In this case, netizens thought that William would not take good care of the second batch of potatoes in order to ensure uncertainty and reduce the probability of being guessed at the accurate weight.
Therefore, in this bet, Facebook netizens did not all guess the weight, but people guessed any number.
But now with the careful care of the small robot, William even feels that the output of the second batch of potatoes is very likely to far exceed 75 kilograms.
In this way, it is really not that easy to guess the correct number.
If William himself didn't cheat, he wouldn't be able to guess the exact weight.
As a result, half of the netizens who had filled in their numbers on Facebook before have probably been eliminated by now.
In this case, there is really no need for him to cheat, lest the number of guessers would be just a few or two, which would not be conducive to the plan to introduce Devonshire gold coins to the market.
